1. Want to make your mascara last longer? Adding a little contact solution into the bottle will do the trick! Be careful not to keep your mascara for longer than three months though in case of an eye infection, yuck!

2. Have a foundation that is a little too dark? Simply add a bit of moisturizer to it and that will lighten it up!

3. Want glossy lipstick to have a matte look? Put on some concealer before you apply your lipstick, not only will it make your lipstick look matte colored, it will also help it stay on longer!

4. Want that matte look for your nails as well? Add a little bit of cornstarch to your polish to give it that matte look!

5. Have trouble with bobby pins staying in your hair? Spray them with some hairspray before placing them in your hair, less time to be spent fixing and redoing your hair all day! Also for a better grip, place the wavy side of the pin against your head!

6. Does your hair take too long to towel dry? Try drying your hair with a t-short instead, less drying time!

7. Want your hair to appear thicker? Dust an eyeshadow along the part in your hair (relatively the same color as your hair) to slightly shade the color of your scalp!

8. Nails taking too long to dry after painting them? Soak your nails in a bowl of ice water after painting them!

9. Can't get that foundation stain out of your shirt? Apply some shaving cream to the stain before throwing it into the wash!

10. Eyelash curler not giving you enough of a curl? Blow dry your eyelash curler before you use it to get a better curl!

11. Want to make your lashes look more full? Dust some baby powder on your lashes between each coat of mascara that you apply!

12. Want to make the smell of your perfume last longer? Apply some vaseline on the points where you spray your perfume before you spray it on!

13. Having trouble taming those flyaways? Spray some hairspray on an old toothbrush and brush it on your hair!

14. Have swear stains that won't come out? Squeeze lemon juice onto the stain before washing!

15. Hate painting your nails just because of the mess it leaves on the skin around your nails? Apply vaseline on the skin around your nails to easily wipe away those stray marks without ruining your manicure!

16. Dealing with clumpy mascara? Roll the mascara wand over a tissue before applying!

17. Don't want those pesky blisters on your feet? Rub clear deodorant on the parts of your feet that your shoes rub to stop friction!

18. Want to create an easy french tip nail? Wrap a rubber band around your finger to create the perfect line!

19. Struggle with blow drying your hair? Use a detachable shower head stand to have hands free blow drying!

20. Want to get rid of split and dead ends without having to get a haircut? Twist your hair into a ponytail, then snip away any of those split ends that stick out!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
